Re: progress dbi?

Susan, OpenLink has Progress ODBC drivers available. The Multi-Tier Drivers are available for many versions of Progress. The Product Availability link will walk you through the selection process for the components specific to your OS. Regarding ODBC - for PHP to use an ODBC driver, you have to link PHP at compile time to a Driver Manager. This is used in conjunction with ODBC drivers to affect your connection. An open source iODBC Driver Manager is available at www.iodbc.org, as well as a HOWTO on compiling PHP --with-iodbc. The iODBC Driver Manager is maintained by OpenLink, and supports the ODBC 3.5 API and includes a GUI control panel on Mac OS X, Linux, and many Unix platforms. OpenLink's commercial drivers download with a free non-expiring 2 user license. Support is available at http://www.openlinksw.com Best regards, Andrew Hill Director of Technology Evangelism OpenLink Software http://www.openlinksw.com Universal Data Access & Data Integration Technology Providers On Wednesday, July 25, 2001, at 08:47 PM, zerosumzero@yahoo.com wrote:

I'm thinking of writing some web aps to interface with a progress database created with Association Plus. I'm wondering if anyone has done this and if it was hard. I'm not certain how to go about understanding this whole ODBC thing ...
